EDGE OF REALITY’S LOADOUT LAUNCHES JANUARY 31st

AUSTIN, TX (January 16, 2014) – Edge of
Reality, developers of the upcoming Free-to-Play shooter
Loadout, today announced that the game will officially be
available on
Friday, January 31, 2014. The development team has
spent the last three years fine tuning the mechanics and embracing
the maniacal and addictive nature of
Loadout’s gameplay, ensuring their debut title will
be ready for its highly-anticipated launch.

“After spending the last two decades contributing to the
development of some amazing franchises, like Mass Effect, Tony
Hawk’s Pro Skater, The Sims, and Dragon Age,
Loadout is our studio’s first original IP, and we
couldn’t be more excited to open it up to the masses,”
said Rob Cohen, CEO of Edge of Reality. “We started this as a
passion project, working on it when we could, and trying to create
something original and truly player friendly. What we’ve got
now is a game that’s a blast to play, quick and easy to get
into, and empowers players with insane amounts of
customization.”

In fact,
Loadout’s weapon-crafting system runs so deep that
there are over
44 billion possible creations to assemble,
enabling players to transform weapon behavior in extreme ways,
thereby defining their own class and play style. Combining
weapon-crafting with acrobatic movement and over-the-top comedic
violence,
Loadout is packed with personality and style that deliver
a fresh and satisfying alternative to the vast array of modern
combat shooters.

Loadout is currently in beta via Early Access on Steam.
Loadout will officially be released for the PC on
January 31, 2014. For more
